Here are some recipes that were favorites at work
parties in the past. Recipes from more recent work parties can be

blog.
There are also many online resources for great vegan
recipes!
Salsa Black Beans and Rice
Ingredients
- 3 cups of cooked rice
- 1 can of Black Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 jar of Salsa, or to your taste
- 1 bunch of Green Onions

Directions
Combine everything in a large bowl and mix throughly,
or place in a large enough Tupperware bowl and shake well.
This is great served on a bed of lettuce or even wrapped in a
Tortilla.
Lemon Pie
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar (if you use Michigan or Pioneer brands,
they are vegan, they are made from sugar beets.)
- 1/2 cup of corn starch
- 2 cups of water
- Grated rind of 2 lemons
- 1/2 - 3/4 of a cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice.
- 3 tablespoons of margarine

Directions
Combine sugar, corn starch and water in a sauce
pan, heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Once
it comes to a boil, stir continuously for 3 to 5 minutes until
it is thick and sort of opaque in color. Add margarine and
stir until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in lemon
zest and lemon juice. Pour into pie crust and chill for
at least an hour in the fridge.
Mexican Veggie Roll-Ups
Ingredients
- Flour Tortillas (8-10, Large)
- Refried beans (add small amount of water if beans are too
dry)

peppers, summer squash (matchstick size), chopped leaf lettuce,
roma tomatoes, chopped onions, black/green olives, zucchini,
soy cheese, salsa, thinly sliced carrots, roasted red peppers,
green onions.......as you can see the options are endless.
Directions
Spread a little Vegenaise on tortilla then spread
a generous amount of refried beans, leaving an inch margin around
the tortilla. Add any combination of veggies your refer &
roll up. Serve whole or slice diagonally, either in thirds or
in half. Use a toothpick to hold olive or other decoration on
top of wrap.
I have made these wraps with hummus, tomato, olive oil, &
veggies for a Middle Eastern version.
